Sunstone - Tainted by Enemy's Blood Chapter 38
Angelica’s POV “Mmm…” Hummed from my lips, as I snuggled closer into the warmth, while protective arms wrap around me, pulling me in even tighter. My body had never felt so at rest, as it did right now, and the sound of a steady beating heart acted as a melody in my ear, soothing my restless soul. I knew whose arms I was in, and I knew whose heart I was listening to, but by the sounds of it, he was still fast asleep, and I wanted to marvel in the way he was making me feel before I ultimately pulled away. Last night things between us almost broke the boundaries of our friendship, and it probably would have if it hadn’t been for what he had whispered to me. It made me wonder if it was a sign from the heavens above that we shouldn’t cross that line, but if I was being honest with myself, I wanted it just as badly as he did. As the morning sun began to peek through the slit in the curtains, Joffrey began to stir, and I quickly went to pull f

Angelica’s POV I wanted to run after him, and explain everything to him, but Joffrey’s grandmother wrapped her arm around mine, steering me towards the kitchen, as she says to me, “He will be back soon, child. He just needs time to compute what he just learned. It’s a lot for one to find out about their mate, especially when its not the mate that revealed it.” I was just about to protest to her, but she once again stops me by saying, “I understand why you kept it from him, as it must be hard not knowing who in this world you can trust, but my Joffrey is a good boy, and he would never bring harm to you. You must already know that though.” She was right, I knew Joffrey would never intentionally hurt me. If anything, he had risked his life to protect me, and there were so many times that I wished that I could have told him my secret, but I refrained myself from doing so. Now that the cat was out of the bag, there were no more secrets on my

Angelica’s POV “You heard me right child.” Joffrey’s grandmother said, just before the tea kettle began to whistle, making her stop her story as she moves to the stove to turn it off, while I sat there processing it all. If Selene was truly the daughter of Zeus, then that would make her related to me, and if she was Joffrey’s greatest grandmother, then the two of us would be related. “Oh, my Goddess, I almost slept with my greatest of cousins.” I thought to myself, as my stomach once again began to turn, and I placed what was left of the strip of bacon back onto my plate, while Joffrey’s grandmother moved back to my side, handing me a cup of tea.“Now where was I...” She said, as she took her seat next to me, before she says, “Ah, Selene, that’s right. When Selene got to the bad part of the city, it didn’t take long for the witches and the warlocks to sense her demigod blood flowing through her veins, and before she knew it, she was surrounded by them.

Angelica’s POV “I need to find Joffrey.” I said to his grandmother, as I stood from my seat, knowing that I had to make things right with him, especially knowing now that we weren’t related but that it was my family who had brought so much pain to his greatest grandfather.I didn’t want him to have to go through what his grandfather had, loving a woman he could never be with. There was no doubt now in my mind why the two of us were brought together, and these feelings that I was having towards him were wrong for me to keep locked away from him.“But Angelica, I haven’t finished the story.” Joffrey’s grandmother called out to me, as I raced towards the front door, and even though I wanted to hear more of her story, my need to make things right with Joffrey right now was more important to me.“I’m sorry, but we will have to finish the story later.” I apologized to her, as I raced outside the house, praying that I could find him.Stepping off the porch, a gust of wind shi

Angelica’s POV My wolf was doing her best to keep up with the creature, but as the mountain stood now in front of us, we both knew that eventually we were going to have to cross back over the river if we wanted to stop the creature before it got to Joffrey. I began to rack my brain at that moment, trying to figure out a way to stop the beast, as it was clear that my Goddess power had no negative effect on it, making me now believe that the creature was sent by the Gods, but why. The only thing that I knew about the creature was that it didn’t like water, as I was sure that the flame that fueled it would die, ultimately killing the beast itself. Unfortunately, I didn’t know the land here, to know where I could lead it away from Joffrey to a major source of water. As the river steered to the right, and the creature began to ascend the mountain that I was sure was towards Joffrey, my wolf let out another warning howl to Joffrey, before she

Angelica’s POV Thick fog now plagued the air around us as we neared the lake’s shoreline, impairing my wolf’s vision to see acrost it. It was apparent that the creature’s body was still beneath the water’s surface, causing the fog to enhance at the rate it was. My wolf let out a howl, and it echoed through the valley, rippling off the surface of the lake, as if she was calling out to Joffrey. Silence filled the air around us, as we both waited to hear him reply, but nothing came, and my wolf dropped to the ground, while her pain became my own. As my heart felt like it was breaking into two, I felt my wolf beginning to retreat, allowing me to shift back into my human form without asking her, telling me that she sensed something was gravely wrong. Standing there now in my human form, I stared out into the lake, as I grabbed ahold of the sunstone around my neck, praying to Selene to allow me to use its power to save Joffrey from the depts o

Angelica’s POV “Oh my, what happened to the two of you?” Joffrey’s grandmother asked, as we walked onto her front porch, both naked and covered in dirt, dripping wet from the pouring rain, and this was not how I wanted her to see me. “We were attacked by a creature not from this world.” Joffrey tells her, and her eyes widen as she moves her hand to cover her mouth, while Joffrey motions for me to enter the house, and I quickly head for the stairs, needing to wash myself clean and put on a set of fresh clothes. Heading straight for the bathroom, I hopped into the shower, letting the hot water run down over my head, allowing it to warm my flesh, as I closed my eyes and leaned against the wall, wondering how I was going to find the strength to get through this. Just days ago, I thought I had the power within me to stop this, but the more I learn, the more I realize that the power I have within me is so minute compared to what we are up agai

Joffrey’s POV For many moons my family couldn’t understand how my greatest grandfather had lost the challenge by Angelica’s uncle, or should I now say his brother, as ruler, but now it was all making sense to me. If what Angelica was saying was true about what he had done to her ancestors for their power that lies within their blood, then he had stolen the crown from my greatest grandfather and my family, just as this heir was trying to do. As Angelica continues to finally tell me the truth about her family, I began to realize this wasn’t just Angelica’s fight. The two of us were brought together for a reason, and it was so much more than just a mate bond, as I began to realize that it was fated by the Moon Goddess to undo what injustice had been done. With Angelica’s mother taking the life of the vamp responsible for taking the crown from my greatest grandfather, it had reset the wheel of time, and our destinies of our two families bein

Angelica’s POV To my surprise, when the chattering stopped among our guests, they turned back to us and a different man stepped forward. “If what you are telling us is true, then we have no other choice then to fight. This vampire that you speak of has already left a path of destruction in this city. His men have been threatening us for months now, and we sat back waiting for our Prince to do something about it. I was just a boy when your greatest grandfather was our Prince, but I remember him being a great man, full of compassion for his kind and those of other creations of the Gods. I can see his compassion in you, and for you to step forward to help us, when the man responsible for your greatest grandfather’s fall isn’t here to help us, speaks volume for your character. For that reason, I will pledge my allegiance to you, and I will follow you into battle.” Slowly, one by one, our guest began to step behind the man, as if to pledge their own allegian
Sunstone - Tainted by Enemy's Blood Chapter 56
Angelica’s POV I had to admit, Joffrey’s plan of forming an army might just work, especially from all the damage the heir had done while he tried to gain power. There was no doubt in my mind that the vampires and other supernatural beings in the city would be willing to fight back against the heir, if we could convince them that together we would have a chance to stop him. Our time had run out, and the little that I had learned about the sunstone and its powers was going to have to be enough. Thankfully last night, I felt like I had connected on some level with it, and I pray that when we go to battle it will once again join forces with my own powers. Now back within the city, Joffrey’s word of a meeting at my uncle’s house, spread among the supernatural residence like wildfire, as the gates to my uncle’s kingdom on the mountainside were opened for the first time, to all those that would come. Since Hayden had collected powers from all w
Sunstone - Tainted by Enemy's Blood Chapter 55
Joffrey’s POV As my canines pierced through Angelica’s flesh to leave my mark, a drop of her blood hit my tongue, awakening something inside of me, as a burst of power rushed through me like a bolt of lightning. Instantly, I realized that this wasn’t normal, and that it wasn’t the mate bond that was causing this surge of power I was feeling from her, but I couldn’t pull away just yet from the feeling it was giving me. Another drop of her blood hit my tongue, and it was clear to me where the source of the power was coming from, but it also made me realize that her blood had awakened my vampire side, as the thirst for her sweet blood began to consume me. A whimper came from Angelica’s lips at that moment, causing my two sides to be at war for the first time in my life. It was clear that what I was doing to her was hurting her, and I wanted to stop so badly, knowing that I was causing her pain, but my vampire side was being relentless, as i
Sunstone - Tainted by Enemy's Blood Chapter 54
Angelica’s POV Joffrey’s lips now kissed the lobe of my ear, as I began to feel the power from the words, he had just spoken to me. Not only were they tugging at my heart, but they were now having an effect on my soul, as I felt an immense sensation of my own love towards him beginning to rise within me. The mate bond between us was clearly affecting my judgement, but the more I thought about my feelings towards Joffrey, I realized that they started way before I even felt the pull of the mate bond to him. I had felt a connection with him the night of my ball, but the connection I felt with him had nothing to do with our bond, as it couldn’t have had influenced my feelings towards him, because it wasn’t present at the time, and my wolf was locked away, along with the mate bond. The feelings that I had for him were based off my own desires for him, without the need for the bond to help, making me realize that the mate bond didn’t ultimate
Sunstone - Tainted by Enemy's Blood Chapter 53
Angelica’s POV As I reached into my backpack for another set of clothes, I quickly realized that I was out, making me toss the backpack back to the floor, as I let out a growl of frustration. Tears began to pour down my cheeks, as I no longer could hold back the pain, while I slid to the floor, mad at myself for allowing myself to have feelings for him.If I had just stuck to the plan, and left Joffrey when we had reached the city, I wouldn’t be here right now wallowing in my sorrows. But then on the other hand, I wouldn’t have the sunstone, and even though I knew I needed it, I didn’t know if the pain I was feeling right now was worth it.My heart was broken, and there was no power in this world that could fix that, making me wish that I could turn back time to the night of my ball, and take off like I was wanting too. But Raven had talked me into coming back inside, and that ended up being the worst mistake of my life.What I didn’t understand is how my spell didn’t
Sunstone - Tainted by Enemy's Blood Chapter 52
Joffrey’s POV For days I had dreamt of this moment, but after coming here and finding out what my fate was to be, I couldn’t bond myself to her until I knew my soul was safe from Hades. The pain that she was feeling now would be nothing compared to the pain of losing me as a marked Luna, and I couldn’t do that to her. I couldn’t be selfish and allow my own wants to shadow her wellbeing, but I also couldn’t bear the pain I was causing her right now. Looking into her eyes, I could see the immense pain she was feeling, along with her anger towards me, which I couldn’t blame her for, because for the past couple of days I had tried to make her see that she was my mate. But after finding out that my soul belonged to Hades, there was a chance that there was no future for us. “Angelica, please let me explain.” I pleaded with her to allow me the opportunity to explain myself to her, because I didn’t want things between us to be like this.
Sunstone - Tainted by Enemy's Blood Chapter 51
Angelica’s POV A rush of emotions hit me like a ton of bricks, as I realized this wasn’t just a thing between us, or destiny bringing our two families back together again. Now I understood why my wolf shared a connection with his, and why she had listened to him and had locked me away, only to set me free when he pleaded with her too. This whole time he knew we were true mates, fated together by my greatest grandmother, and he didn’t tell me. His wolf came to a halt in front of mine, as he slowly approached us, nuzzling once again against my wolf, just as happy to see her as she was to see him. A part of me was upset with him for not telling me, but another part of me was confused why he had kept this from me. Most of all, I couldn’t understand why my wolf didn’t make this known to me, as it was clear that the connection between his wolf and her had already been made, probably when she had locked me away. I now understood what he had sai
Sunstone - Tainted by Enemy's Blood Chapter 50
Angelica’s POV This was definitely not part of my plan, which I was now seeing was a bit careless of me. In my defense, how was I to know that he had a whole pack of these beasts, but of course he would because he was a God, and probably had an endless supply of them at his fingertips. One of the hellhounds at that moment barked at me, making me leave out a nervous chuckle, before I said, “Down boy.” As if the beast was a damn dog that was going to listen to me. But to my surprise, the hellhound that I had just commanded began to shift before my eyes, just as if a wolf would turn into a human, but this creature now staring back at me was no human from this realm. His eyes still burned with a flame in them, as he stared at me, and it didn’t take long for me to realize that this creature in front of me had no soul. “Hades demands the soul promised to him.” The creature said with a voice that almost sounded demonic like he w
Sunstone - Tainted by Enemy's Blood Chapter 49
Angelica’s POV Standing in the middle of the front yard, I watched Joffrey setting up targets just like the ones I had back at home, but little did he know those targets were no match for my own powers that I had. Once he was finished with the last target, he moved to my side, taking my hand into his, before he says, “Try and tap into the sunstone’s powers, but use me as an anchor.” I wanted to tell him about the conversation that I had with Carla, and that I couldn’t tap into the powers of the sunstone, but I knew if I did, he would call this whole thing off, especially if he knew that I couldn’t control its powers. So instead of telling him that, I decided to use my own powers, praying that the sunstone would do its own thing. With my hand in his, I raised my other hand towards the target, calling upon my own powers, before I let a stream of it flow from my fingertips towards the target hitting it dead center like I always do, but the
